Abstract:
|
A number of online resources now provide open access to information of value to students and professionals in probability and statistics. These include arXiv, Google Scholar, Wikipedia, MathWorld, PlanetMath, and several electronic journals. These developments are perceived by some professional societies as threats to their business model. By contrast, IMS sees open access electronic resources as effective means of achieving its primary purpose: to foster the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability.
